Do you qualify for a grant?

Our application window will be during the month of September. We will not be able to receive applications from October through August of each calendar year.

Family Information

The Ephesians 3:20 Foundation application process requires you to provide your basic family information. We’ll ask for things like your current marital status, whether you already have children in the home, your employment history, and your basic contact information. We also need a couple of personal references (not related to you) to write letters on your behalf.

Adoption Process

We’ll need to know the scoop on the status and details of your adoption. Things like which agency you’re using, how far along you are in the process, and whether you’ll be doing an international or domestic adoption. We’ll also request information regarding any known or requested special needs, issues, or considerations associated with the upcoming adoption.

Faith-based

As a Gospel-centered foundation, we’re interested in knowing about your church participation and your family’s personal faith journey. We’ll want to hear why you’re adopting, what you feel led you to want to adopt a child, what the grant would mean to your ability to complete your adoption, and how your faith led you to a particular adoption strategy.

Gifts From God

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

– James 1:27

To redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

– Galatians 4:5-7

He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.

– Ephesians 1:5-6

But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a child and put him by his side and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”

– Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭47-48

Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me.

– Matthew 18:5

And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

– Romans 8:23

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”.

– Romans 8:15

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.

– Ephesians 2:19

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.

– Jeremiah 1:5

And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.
